So today's Mother's Day. Unfortunately, I recently lost my MoM. People are calling. They say, oh, I'm thinkin' bout you today... I'M NOT A MOTHER! I could be a Mother Fucker at times - but please; don't worry. With each day, I heal. With each day, I realize how fortunate my MoM was not to suffer as much as some other people that I have heard die of cancer. Yes, my MoM realized to late what she had, she fought very hard to be with me and my family. Cancer (in the end) took her fast. swift. No longer is she in pain. I have had so many memorable Mother's Day with my MoM, why - HOW could I rain on anyone else's appreciation for your Mother? I miss her yeah; I miss her so much it Hurts so bad...but everyone concerned today still had there own MoM on earth. Mothers Day is certainly a perfect day to reflect on how important she was in your life...

Emily Jean - My Mom Has Passed...
July, 29th 19--January 4th 2008
Emily Jean a longtime Staten Island New Yorker and homemaker who created Emily's Angels, a line of hand-crafted wooden dolls, died Friday at her home in New Jersey., following a long illness. She was 69.
Born in Brooklyn, she moved to Annadale, where she raised her family, in 1974. She and her husband, Ray, retired to Jackson in 2002.
Born in Brooklyn, she moved to Annadale, where she raised her family, in 1974. She and her husband, Ray, retired to Jackson in 2002.
She had devoted her time to caring for her home and family.
Her first grandchild inspired the couple to create what became a series of wooden angel dolls -- Her husband sculpted the eight-inch figurines and Emily sewed their dresses. Eventually, the dolls were designed with each of their eight grandchildren in mind.
"Emily's Angels" were sold in craft shops along the Jersey Shore.
In addition to creative projects, Emily enjoyed cooking, traveling to Europe, Florida and the Jersey Shore, and spending time with her husband in her English-style garden.
More than anything, she loved spending time with her grandchildren.
"My mother was an angel herself," said her son, Raymond. "She was a very giving person. She was just a good human being."
In addition to her husband of 49 years, Ray, her son, Raymond, and her eight grandchildren, surviving Emily are her sons, John and James, and her daughter, Sueann.

My Words Can't Explain...
...The outreach, the comforting friendships and the words some put in sentences. Here are some of the most endearing and thoughtful words said in my time of grief...
"I cannot say that I know what you're going through because I haven't lost a parent.. I can only say that our parents gave us life so we could go out and live it.. I think your mom will watch over you from where she is now happy in knowing that you are living the life she gave you, to it's fullest!.. So, the next time you're out there just livin' life, and you feel an emotion swelling up inside, thank your mom for giving that to you"
-Matt
"My thoughts and prayers are with you today"
PS: I saw a rainbow on my way to work this morning and thought of your mom!

Hi Ray... I was VERY upset to hear about your mother. Though I may not have seen her often I feel like I have known her my entire life. I know that there is nothing that anyone can say to make this any easier, and the last thing you want to hear is that she is in a better place now. At least I know I hated when people told me that when my grandparents died. I just want to say I am very sorry and that if you need me for anything please call me. I hope the next few days go smoothly for you. I will see you either tomorrow or Wednesday.
-Love You! Dee xoxoxox
"You and your Mom are in our thoughts today"

...keep in mind- this is a very emotional /disturbing time - it was your mother you lost - you can not take away that sadness- we can only continue to celebrate your mom's life and keep her name alive. Time does heal the pain - but the sadness will be there forever. As you say 'life goes go on" but we now incorporate the death of your mother into life. DO NOT try to escape all with alcohol- extracurricular- etc etc - there is no escaping. If you are to indulge- do it for enjoyment and not running from anything. Be strong- keep the faith and onward and upward we go----

Ashes and Dust...
So many people told me that driving to my Mothers funeral that they had seen a rainbow. I will not lie, my Mom promised humming birds and butterflies for my sister, The weather that entire day was particularly peculiar - again, more than one person told me about this. My Mom wasn't a saint - but her messages got through. Thanks to everyone who told me bout this, cause I didn't even see it!
